17th Feb 2026 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Very smart Flat form in 2024, including on soft ground; not as good now judged on his exploits for current yard, though ran encouragingly to be an 11l third (led 3f out) at Wincanton behind Saturday's Victor Ludorum runner-up Pourquoi Pas Papa; now has to build on that. |
13/2 |

29th Jan 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 50y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Dual 1m4f Listed winner in France; however, his two British Flat runs last year were underwhelming and he ended up tailed off on hurdling debut at Chepstow having been weak in the market; good bit to prove now. |
6/1 |

13th 2 (4) |
2nd Aug 2025 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
5-14 in France for Andre Fabre, with five seconds too and they included one in a Group 3 and one in a 1m6f Listed race (both on very soft); bought for 220,000gns in January, followed by a never-dangerous last of five in Listed race here (1m4f, soft) in June but he presumably needed that run. |

28th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 81y |
10st 12lb |
Flat winner is 1-17 over hurdles, the win coming in a Sedgefield maiden on latest (2m4f, good); previously proved no match for Laughing John in a handicap at Wincanton and work to do to turn that form around in new headgear. |
20/1 |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
A fairly useful maiden hurdler/chaser for Denis Hogan; went too keenly on his first three outings for his current yard but bounced back to form when (refitted with tongue strap) third of 15 in 2m4f Wincanton handicap 35 days ago; the clear form pick back in maiden company; headgear retained. |
5/4 |

3rd 7 |
25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 179y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
0-15 over hurdles and needs to produce more than he's managed this term; however, his reduced mark appeals on his useful form up to last March and Harry Cobden is 4-9 this season for Faye Bramley, whose stable is in good form; no surprise to see a bold show now back in a handicap. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Has failed to kick on sent handicapping, beating only one at Wincanton (2m4f) 22 days ago; needs to take a big step forward if he's to get off the mark at the seventh attempt. |
14/1 |
|
11th 6 |
23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 179y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Displayed significant promise in two slow-ground maidens here (1m7f) in January and ran much better than eventual 60l defeat suggests on last month's handicap debut at Exeter (2m5f, heavy); not out of this if the much quicker surface suits. |

28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |

Better when upped in trip for his two handicaps, winning by 7l over C&D (soft) last time; up 8lb but plenty to like after that smooth win. |

|
1st 2 |
9th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Modest in maiden/novice events (1m7f-2m) but better when stepping up in trip for handicap debut at Chepstow recently (2m4f, soft; runner-up, beaten nearly 10l); there's still time to brush up his jumping technique and, on pedigree, he should handle this extra yardage; chance. |
7/2 |

2nd 3 |
13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Showed only minor promise in three maiden/novice hurdles (1m7f-2m) in December/January but moves up in trip for this handicap debut and has plenty of scope for improvement. |

Fair winning 2m hurdler who wasn't discredited when fifth in 2m5f handicap at Market Rasen in May; much respected now going chasing. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Displayed considerable improvement when winning easily by 12l on last month's handicap hurdle debut at Hereford (2m, good); managed only third under 7lb penalty here (2m2f, good) eight days later and is another 5lb higher today, but he moves up in trip again and remains of interest. |

Fair maiden on the Flat who greatly advanced his form on his handicap hurdle debut when scoring easily at Hereford (2m) eight days ago; major shout under a 7lb penalty. |

10st 10lb |
1m2f Flat winner who has yet to show anything of note over hurdles, including on handicap debut at Wincanton (1m7f, good) ten days ago; needs this step up in trip and the tongue-tie to spark considerable improvement. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 50y Class 5 |

1m2f Flat winner who has been completely tailed off in all three runs over hurdles; at least goes handicapping off a lowly mark and drying ground would help matters, so watch the weather. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
His first effort of note when beaten just over 5l in a Wincanton handicap (1m7f, good; first-time cheekpieces) in which he rallied gamely after stumbling three out; now he's of interest. |

3rd 5 |
12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 50y Class 5 |

24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Modest in four Flat races (2023 and 2024) but, after a big layoff, no worthwhile form in three maiden hurdles this year; at least handicap hurdle debut should help and the market can guide again. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Useful Flat winner so he's been disappointing over hurdles, though has finished within 10l of the winner in his last two handicaps (2m4f/3m); a visor replaces cheekpieces and this aid did nothing for him on the Flat. |

9th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
A fair 1m4f Flat maiden for Owen Burrows; yet to show that level of form in this sphere but took a step forward when sixth of 12 in 2m4f Wincanton handicap 17 days ago; possibilities off a slipping mark. |
8/1 |

6th 7 |
23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 179y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Became disappointing on the Flat last year and has not shown much since switched to hurdling; pulled up when 40-1 for last month's handicap hurdle debut at Taunton (2m3f, good to soft); difficult to enthuse over. |

Some light at the end of the tunnel after a 13l defeat here in March (2m1f, good to soft) and this longer distance should suit as she's got a stout pedigree; quite interesting with that in mind. |
